Was that before or after we had the technology to map the human connectome and even the barest understanding of what all those connections could possibly amount to in a neural network?
Keep the responses coming though, it's like watching the kid who eats crayons gloat about their special brain that gets them in special classes, calling people dumb because they "talk stupid".
Edit: I'm sorry, I'm still dying over here at you trying to point out a postmortem brain examination from the decade before we decided to stop giving lobotomies and electroshock to cure mental problems, to bolster your opinion. So since you like images, I found you an image that shows scientists looking at Einstein's brain nearly a century ago and concluding "it look like brain"
